2 SAINTLY CITY DOINGS Many Lawyers ... Attend. the Opening 1 of the Septem ber Term of Court. Jews Celebrate the Festival of Yum Kippur After Their Own Fashion. Barbers Who Are Said to Have Wielded the Razor on Sabbathday. Work by Night on the Cable Line —A Summary of Local News. COME INTO THE COURT. Opening Day of the September Term of Court in Ramsey County. Judge Kelly was on the bench ready for bolness" ha/. Armstrong, wearing a latest style collar, had the roll of grand jurors ready to proceed; and the wheels of justice would have been set in motion at 10 o'clock yesterday morning bad it not been for the tardiness of some of the members of the jury. E. A. Brown sent word that he was sick and unable to appear, and he was excused. Col. Al vareu Allen said that he was sixty seven years of age, and on that account, being "exempt, was excused. J. B. lloxife and F. B. Doran were absent, and attachments were ordered. At about 10:30 Judge Kelly began his charge to the grand jury" He first appointed William H. bean foreman, then read from the statutes the duties of grand jurors. These finished, he expressed "regret that he was unable to make their duties light. "Unfortunately the serious nature of the offenses awaiting your action compel me to speak plainly to you,* * said the judge. "That there are agencies at work in our midst, which, if not checked soon, will render our com munity metropolitan in ways not to be emulated' is undoubtedly true. You are not called simply to pass upon persons already charged with public offenses. It is your boanden duty to impure into all offenses triable in this community. OBEAT crimes seldom exist without many underlying causes. There are men to-day in prison who in all human probability* would not have been there had grand juries and public officials been fearless and done their duty. . 1 call your attention to one fruitful cause of disorder in every community when toleratedpublic gambling. Se duction is the gambler's art—is demor alizing in the last degree. The history of the human wrecks made in these hells is found in the records of every criminal court in the land. If any places of this kind—however clothed in name—exist in this county, I charge you that, as honest men, looking well to the future of those who occupy places of trust and may be tempted, and fall, to see to it that those who keep and aid such be promptly prosecuted and pun ished. Then there is the keepingjof houses of public prostitution. Prolific in vice— degrading not only to their hapless in mates, but to their foul frequenters — they need only to be mentioned in a Christian community to be condemned. Not only axe those who keep and fre quent such houses public offenders, but also the owners of buildings who know ingly let them for immoral purposes. The abuses growing out of the traffic ; in intoxicating liquors are also casesuof crime more or less grave. Furnishing the liquors to minors and inebriates, keeping disorderly houses, permitting gambling therein, and keeping the places where intoxicants are dealt in open for business on the Sunday are all most dangerous violations of law. Not only*' is this last offensive as desecrating the Lords-day, a day which in all hum ble sincerity from this bench I say should be kept holy, but as in large com munities on the Sunday necessarily there are great numbers of idle men, these places entice many to excess and excess leads to crime. The records of our courts prove every word I saw These laws should be enforced—impar tially.' fairly firmly. Persecute no man —but let all men understand that the laws must be respected and obeyed. After the charge .the jury held a short session and then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when they will begin work in earnest. After the re tirement of the grand jury the weary and monotonous work of calling the cal endar was begun, and it will probably not be finished before to-night. Baz Armstrong and J. P. Davis, the deputy , nQ -*J^*ks, assumed COMFOKTABI— POSITION'S behind the clerk's desk and attended strictly to business. C. A. Severance unbuttoned his coat and vest and awaited the call of the cases in which his firm is interested, with a look-at-the number-of-cases-we-have air. J. W. Willis •'•adjusted his gold spectacles well upon his nose and looked straight at the calendar during the entire day. _. P. Sanborn sat in an obscure corner, but he had the floor a good portion of the time. J.J. McCafferty had some thing to say as the cases were called, and lie said it in that majestic manner peculiarly his own. J. F. Fitzpatrick occupied one of the benches outside the railing, but he had something to say oc casionally. O. M.Metcalf. when he"was not busy, was asleep on one Of the benches. S. L. Pierce seemed anxious to get to the fray. He could hardly wait until las cases were called. Edwin Gribble had business in the court room, but when he was not busy he seemed interested in watching the others. E. St. Julieu Cox captured a seat well up toward the desk, and when he was on his feet lie succumbed to the judge's rulings with his natural grace. H. J. Horn was there for business only, and he transacted it in a business like man ner. L. M.Vilas -was as conspicuous among the other attorneys. He has a number of cases on the calendar. E, E. McDonald sat through the whole day with a smile upon his face. He always enjoys himself. J. E. Markham looked satisfied with the -number of cases he had on the calendar. O. E. Holnian was busy part of the time. C. H. Fauntlerov enjoyed the proceedings; in true old Virginia style. Hon. W. P. Murray in sisted on sitting at the deputy sheriff's chair. He was busy as well as T. D. O'Brien in looking after the city's cases. J. B. Brisbin seemed as spry as his younger brethren when his cases were called. B. H. Scriber was one of the youngest of the. attorneys present, but he had several cases to look after. L. J. Dobner forgot about the school board and thought only of law. O. K. Saner was there nearly all day waiting for his chance to talk. Henry Johns looked as happy as though he was on a trip to Fargo with the St. George Snowshoe club. There were many other lawyers in the room and all'of them seemed to enjoy the weary task hugely. One thing | noticeable was the large number of the younger members of the profession who have cases on this calendar. '.UKHAPPY. FAMILIES. The habeas corpus proceedings in the divorce case of Mary Johnson' against L. A. Johnson were partially argued be fore Judge Simons yesterday. "The di vorce proceedings are now pending in Hennepin county.

Observation of the Day of. Atone ment by the Je wish Citizens. The services ushering in the Hebrew Day of Atonement began at 0 o'clock last evening in the synagogue at the corner of Minnesota and Tenth streets. This day is in fact the most important and most generally observed of all the Jewish holidays. In Frankfort, Vienna, and most of the other European money centers the exchanges do but little business, ami of times close on- Yum Kippur, as the day is called. The reasons for the celebrations and serv ices of last night and to-day were very beautifully set forth in the discourse of Rabbi Samuel Freuder last evening. His text was Micah vi, 8: He hath showed thee.O man, what is good, and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy Goat*' "The holiest of all days," he said."the crown of all festivals, the Sabbath of Sabbaths, has come. O thrice blessed hour that brings us together and draws us nearer to each other and nearer to God. When all the year around the divided activities of life separate us and the whirl of business carries us away in different directions, this day unites us again and becomes a day of atonement in the original meaning of the word, which is derived from "at" and "one,"' signifying the making us at one with our fellow men and with our God. The sublime idea underlying this festival is that God extends his mercy to the deepest-fallen sinner as soon as he repents of his transgressions." The speaker then compared the Jew ish idea of sin and atonement with that advanced by Christianity, and main tained that the Jewish idea of atone ment that the prophet teaches is the true idea of atonement and gives the only correct answer to the question, "now can we be saved?" Services will be held in the synagogue this morning at 9:30 and will continue until sunset. Rabbi Freuder will officiate, assisted by President Max Warshauer. '.". - IMPRESSIVE WORSHIP. In the second and third floor halls of the Exposition block, formerly the Fam ily dime museum, but recently occupied by the Gospel Army, another sect of Hebrews were celebrating the Yum Kippur last: -. night. Both floors- were divided -by a curtain stretching . across the hall, separating the male apartments from the females, for they do not believe in co-worship by'the sexes. A high altar in the males' room, draped with costly silk fabrics, bearing mottoes in Hebrew, stood at one end, sur mounted by a dozen- long . tallow candles, burning brightly. Hundreds of ■•••'-these "candles stood about the room on chairs and tables which were thrown profusely about without regard to any order. A strong smell of incense pervaded the room and at a large table at the foot of the altar was a mass of offerings wrapped up in paper and cloth. Four men with sway ing bodies stood close about the altar and chanted continuously in Hebrew. These were robed in long black and white garments, and the fourth in citizen's clothes. All were in their stocking feet and wore their hats. Another paced the floor with a Hebrew bible in his hand, robed in white, with a black girdle. This wierd form of worship lasted all night, and will be continued until G o'clock this evening. SHAVED ON SUNDAY. The Sunday Closing Law for Bar bers Said to Have Been Broken. At last the law requiring the closing of barber shops on Sunday, which was passed with so much unanimity by. the last legislature, and so much kicking from a discommoded public, lias got be fore the courts. G. H. E. Smith, pro prietor of the Merchants hotel barber shops, and six colored barbers in his employ, were arraigned in the municipal court yesterday morning charged with violating the law, in a complaint sworn to by C. G. Aamold, a member of the Journeymen Barbers' union.- It is al leged that Smith and his assistants-have been plying their trade every Sunday in an up stairs room at the Merchants to which guests were admitted on presen tation of a card from the clerk. Grow ing bold because there was no prosecu tion. Smith opened the shop in the base ment to the public last Sunday, it is claimed, and the tonsorial artists worked away much the same as on week days. The cases were continued until Friday, and it is understood that Smith will make a legal light, appealing to the su preme court, if necessary, to. test the validity of the law. The barbers gen enerally, especially the journeymen, are in favor of Sunday closing, and will prosecute all proprietors who violate the law. "'iY LOOKS ENCOURAGING. ... Work on the Cable -Under the Electric Lights. • .y. -.y% A night crew begun work on the cable line on Fourth street, east of Seven corners, last night, lighted by elec tricity. The gang numbered' about seventy-five men and worked till mid night. To-night the number of work men will be 150, and work .will" be . con tinued all night hereafter until the line is finished. There is every indication now that the line will be in operation before the snow flies. The boilers and engines are being put in place in the plant on Selby avenue, the cars arrived over the Minnesota & Northwestern road Sun day and the cable itself is coiled and loaded into an immense box car, which lies in the Minneapolis & St. Louis yards at the foot of Fourth: street. The "yokes" and all . other materia! required 7 in . construction, are on the ground, and the total number of men at present employed, including the night crews, is over 500. Consider able work has been done already. The excavations are completed on Fourth street, from Seven ■corners to Wa basha, and for two blocks the' conduits and tracks are in place.. The cement filling in was begun last night, and for a half a block east of Seven Corners i the construction is entirely finished..:' On Selby avenue, at the other end of the line, the excavations have been made for four blocks and track laying has begun, while there has been considerable . work ,- done on Fourth street, between Wabasha and Broadway. -:' THE NEW THEATER.

Those who claim to know say that the parties interested were await ing the arrival of Dennis Ryan before anything further could be done in the S remises. Some say that property on acksou street, all the way from Seventh street to Ninth street, is enjoying quite a boom in consequence. A gentleman prominent in real estate circles stated ast evening that the new theater would without doubt be erected opposite the Ryan on Sixth street. He gave as his reason that- this place was very centrally located, was easy of access by. any of the street car lines and was convenient to the principal hotels. The cost, he said, would be a secondary considera tion. ________ CONFLICTING STORIES Told by the 'Parties to the Hunt ' Dupries Affair. Fred G. L.Hunt, a printer and pub lisher arrested Monday night for en ticing Miss Alice Dupries, of No. 441 Indiana avenue, into his office on the sixth floor of the Union block for im moral purposes, was sentenced to sixty days in the work house with an alterna tion of 350 fine by Judge Cory yesterday. Miss Dupries' testimony was that she came to the Union block on her way home at 8 o'clock in the evening to call for her escort, Mr. Monkhouse, who is a draughtsman with offices in the building. At the bottom of the stairs she met Hunt, and inquired of him the way to Mr. Monkhouse's office. Under pretense of showing her there, she says, he led her to his own room on the' top floor, where he locked the door and made improper proposals to her. She resisted, and when she screamed for help he told her it would do no good, as there was no one else in the building. Finally, however, he became fright ened, and allowed her to go. She called.: a policeman at once and had him ar rested. Hunt is a teacher and promi nent figure in the House of Hope Sunday school, and has pre viously borne a good repu- ! tation as a Christian gentleman. He asserts that his persecution is a black mailing scheme. He admits having ac companied the young lady to his rooms, but says she went voluntarily and made improper advances to him, which lie frowned upon. He says she sat down in his lap* without permission and than got up and screamed, and told him if he did not "put up" she would have him arrested. Hunt says he has engaged an attorney and will have the case re-opened. • POLITICS IN THE STATE Sized Up by' Ex-Senator Rah illy on a Visit to St. Paul. Ex-State Senators Rahilly and Malone were discussing crops and politics in the rotunda of the Merchants yesterday, and greeted the Globe's representative very cordially when he inquired for news from Southern Minnesota. "The chinch bug has played sad havoc with our crops," said Mr. Rahilly, "and in my case alone, where I had 1,200 acres of wheat I did not secure a good bushel. This state of affairs has made our people feel pretty blue, and politics are for the time being lost sight of. In my opinion, however, with a good state ticket in the field next year the Democ racy ought to secure Minnesota, and either of three men might be selected to. lead us. I refer to Mayor Ames, Repre sentatives Rice and Wilson, and in the event of the latter two preferring con gressional to gubernatorial honors, then by all means let us have Ames. Undoubt edly Gov.McGill would like to secure the endorsement that a renomination would give him, but with Ames pitted against him I don't think history would repeat itself. Mayor Ames is very popular with the masses and would secure votes that no other candidate could, with the possible exception of Judge Wilson. Few of us will ever forget the run that the latter made in the last congressional campaign when his chances for success seemed-- well nigh hopeless, and in a gubernatorial race he would be invinci ble. The reputation that Ex-Mayor Rice and Judge Wilson have would be a tower of strength in the approaching campaign, but I believe both of them want to go to Washington." "On the"Republican side the talk about Railroad Commissioner Gibbs does not seem to have anything substantial about it. And as" for Knute Nelson, what do the Swedes want? Are they not satis fied with two congressmen? It is about time that there was a stop put to this race cry, which seems to be the stock in trade of the Nelson men. These senti ments seemed to be reciprocated by Mr. Malone, who occasionally nodded his head in acquiescence, and when the Swede topic was broached he was most emphatic, in denunciation of such a policy. -Both gentlemen coincided in the belief that there was a good fighting chance for carrying Minnesota at the state election in 1888, no matter how the national contest might be decided." FAST WORK AT GRADING. The Long Fill Made on State Street, West St. Paul. '■"■',yL : One of the greatest of the many pub lic improvements that has been made . on the West side is the grading of- State street, which is going on at present. This street is a continuation of Broad way on the other side of the river and runs on a straight line until it reaches . the Minnesota & Northwestern trabfes, where it makes a turn to the right and passes.up the bluff at this point. The fili begins at Indiana avenue and ex tends to the tracks. In making this fill three trains, consisting each of twenty one cars an a locomotive,* are employed, besides a heavy force of men. The cars are loaded by means of a steam shovel at the gravel pit in South St. Paul, a half hour being consumed in the opera tion. /.Each car contains five cubic yards of dirt, and it is estimated that 2,800 cubic yards are deposited in the fill . each day.. This work was commenced about two weeks ago and so quickly has it been pushed that it is expected the fill f will be completed in .- about two weeks more. The heaviest grading will be made near the railroad tracks and in the vicinity of the bridge which will span them. FOR THE GALLANT SECOND.

EDWARDS' DEAD. How Four Aces Pulled Him Out of a Very Deep Hole. A few days ago when Maj. Edwards, the boss poker player of the Red river valley, was in St. Paul wandering aim lessly through the rotunda of the Ryan, his eye - fell on the round white face of the weighing machine that stands near the entrance. Going up to it the major read the following inscription; * • • •• .'........... * : Ascertain your correct weight. : Drop 5 cent nickel Into slit. -y-":* * •• ••» The great man from the Northwest reached down into his pocket and feed ing it to the weighing machine through the slit, mounted the platform. The machine's capacity for weighing reaches only 280 pounds, and as the weight of the major has been something more than 300 pounds for a long time now, he was not a little taken back when the indicator swung round to 280 pounds at a lively pace and stopped. The major jigged up and down, but the pointer refused to move and looking a trifle worried. The heavy weight editor and politician climbed off the platform and going over to the cigar stand leaned on the show case and asked the boy behind the counter if '•them scales over there" were supposed to be all right. "Trues a dot," replied the boy, and: the major walked away rubbing the lower part of his vest and wondering what in the dickens had made him fall away so. He had lost thirty pounds in one weeic according to the scales, and he laid it all to an interesting little game of draw that he had got mixed up with while in Sioux Falls a few days before. The major went down there on business, but when his presence in the town was known, Frank'Pettigrew, the whilom congressman, and Melville Grigsby, the South Dakota dictator, hunted him up, and in less than an hour the three were comfortably locked in a splendidly up holstered office in the rear of the First National bank, with their hats drawn down over their eyes, fighting like bull dogs over variegated jack-pots. Grigsby and Pettigrew had the advantage in that they were fighting on their own heath, and fortune seemed inclined to give the major a cold shoulder, but he stood his ground well and met his losses with the grit of a Spartan. All the aft ernoon and into the night the battle waged, growing hotter each hour, and the beautifully colored RED AND BLUE CHIPS were gradually piling up under the chins of Pettigrew and Grigsby, while the major had been compelled to lay several checks of good round proportions on the table to meet the "stabs" that his antagonists were making at him. -. The sweat was rolling down his face, there was an anxious look in his eyes and he showed signs of nervousness. He was a heavy loser and it began to look as though he would have to walk back to Fargo. At last the cards were pased to him to deal and, shaking them together carelessly, he laid them over on Grigsby's side of the table |to cut. Grigsby didn't cut. Slowly the major dealt the cards until the hands were out. It cost a. hundred dollar bill to stay and Grigsby raised "it to 6200. .Edwards saw that and dropped his check for $500 more in the center of the table.. Pettigrew and Grigsby looked curious but they were in and had to meet the raise which they did." "Cards said Edwards.'. " "One!" said Pettigrew. "One!" said Grigsby. Slowly the major vgave them their cards and pulling five from the pack laid them down in front of him. "The devil," thought Grigsby. "What a snap," thought Pettigrew. . The major picked up his. cards and glanced them over. Grigsby's eyes snapped, for he had a queen full on jacks. Pettigrew's eyes glistened, for -he had four kings. The major's eyes had a sort of a sad,sorrowful expression. "I'll bet $1,000 that my hand is good," said Pettigrew, showing up chips and checks to that amount. "I'll bet §2.000 that my hand is bet ter," said Grigsby, raising Pettigrew's bet - y ... -.<■-. The major laid his cards down on the table and said: "Gentlemen, I'm broke. I've checked out to you the last cent I've got in the bank, but if either one of you want to take a mortgage on my newspaper office for $10,000, I'll give it to you and bet that amount of money that my hand wins the pot." "One of his old time bluffs," though Grigsby and Pettigrew.tand' the latter promptly said, "I'll take the mortgage, major, and advance you the money and I'll call the bet." "I'll do the same," said Grigsby, fill ing out a blank check for $10,000 and laying it on the center of the table. "I reckon I've got you, for here are four kings," said Pettigrew, tossing his cards down ahead of time. - "The h—1!" . ejaculated Grigsby, crushing his queen full in his hand. "' --"Hem!" said the major, "it's pretty tough, gentlemen, but I had to have 'em. Here are four aces. Its-funny how they stuck together that way." . He raked in the pile and the game ended. . Outside' Grigsby said to Pettigrew, "did you ever see such luck?" Pettigrew replied, "luck, you seem to forget that 'twas his deal," THE DEADLY TYPHOID. Cases Which Are Said to Come ;>.-;:'.. From a Stagnant PooL • "In the vicinity of East Third street, between Mendota and Cypress streets on Dayton's Bluff, there are- several stagnant pools of water,. which the health * department should look after. They have Keen there for low these many moons 'and now the result is becoming painfully evident," said a resident of Dayton's bluff yester day.
